Responsibilities
Build the "Technical Product" Discipline: Champion a culture where TPOs are not just scribes for requirements, but active architects of the solution. Coach the team on how to break down complex monolithic ideas into shippable, technical components
Own the "How": While our Business Product peers define the market opportunity, you and your team own the solution space. You will partner with Engineering Directors to balance feature velocity with technical debt, scalability, and platform stability
Coach & Elevate Talent: You will inherit a team with deep institutional knowledge. Your job is to upskill, mentor, and transform this group into a modern, highfunctioning Product organization. You will define what "great" looks like for technical requirements, API design, and system logic
Drive Delivery Excellence: Move the organization from "project milestones" to "value delivery." Ensure your team provides Engineering with high-fidelity artifacts (data contracts, logic flows, API specs) that eliminate ambiguity and rework
Qualification
Required
10+ years in Product Management or Technical Leadership, with specific experience in Technical Product Management (TPM)
Proven track record of evolving a team's capability—specifically taking teams from execution-focused roles (like BA) to ownership-focused roles (like TPO/PM)
Deep fluency in modern software development (APIs, Microservices, Data Platforms). You don't need to code today, but you need to understand how the pieces fit together
A 'Player-Coach' mindset: You are willing to jump into a complex feature and model what good TPO work looks like to teach your team
